2018-2027 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) AmendmentsThe Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) identifies the transportation projects that GCLMPO and NCDOT plan to undertake over the next ten years. The GCLMPO’s 2018-2027 MTIP is being modified to reflect amendments to the 2018-2027 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). For more information, click here.

Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) AmendmentsThe Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) is a long range planning document that will assist the local governments within the GCLMPO planning area and its representatives in making transportation decisions over the next 30+ years.
